Emmitt Smith to Retire
I've never been a Dallas Cowboy fan, but
Smith was a class act both there and here with the Arizona Cardinals. The report says Smith hopes to be part of an ownership group that buys the Minnesota Vikings. I remember that Bernie Kosar tried to win the Cleveland franchise a few years back, but I can't remember any players becoming owners in the NFL since the days of George Halas. In fact, the only one I can think of in any sport in the last couple decades was Mario Lemieux, and of course that was a special circumstance.
